Review on Bel & The Dragon

The Bel & The Dragon is set in a former biscuit factory on the waterfront of the Kennet and Avon Canal, a short stroll from the centre of Reading. Opening its doors in June 2011 it's the fourth sibling in a group of country pub restaurants with branches in Windsor, Cookham, Churt, Kingsclere and Odiham. The spacious venue has been lovingly refurbished with a modern décor whilst incorporating industrial design elements. During summer months the boardwalk and the restaurant's moored boat provides an idyllic waterside setting for alfresco dining.

Ronnie Kimbugwe is the Groups Head Chef and he previously honed his skills as the Senior Sous Chef of the critically acclaimed Gordon Ramsay at Claridges. Kimbugwe together with Reading's head chef Steve Rooney have created a menu showcasing the finest seasonal modern British cuisine, with ingredients carefully sourced from local and sustainable sources.
